The Secretary General of the Council of Europe emphasized the need for European countries to commit both political support and financial resources to establish a special tribunal for investigating Russian war crimes in Ukraine. Speaking to Euronews, he highlighted the importance of accountability in addressing violations during the conflict.
He called on member states to prioritize the tribunal’s creation to ensure justice is served and to uphold human rights standards across the continent.
**Why this matters**
Establishing a dedicated tribunal is seen as a crucial step in holding perpetrators accountable for war crimes in Ukraine. It also reinforces the international legal framework and supports efforts to prevent future violations. Political and financial backing from European nations will be essential to the tribunal’s effectiveness and legitimacy.
